Dorothy Holt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 22, 2017.

Dorothy was born in Methuen, Massachusetts on June 30, 1920 to Walter and Hilda Haller.

During World War II, she served in the Waves stationed in Washington DC

She and her husband of 72 years were married in Bryan, Texas on October 12, 1945. After discharge from the service in 1946 both attended Syracuse University and she graduated with a B.S. in Home Economics. Before settling in Portland, Ralph's work took them to Middletown, Ohio and Red Bluff, California. It was while living in Middletown that Dorothy became interested in weaving and it became her lifelong hobby. For many years she had a Baskin Robbins ice cream store and took pride in creating ice cream cakes.
